A drum inside my chest A beating in my head Are my toes touching yours? Am I standing on the edge? The edge of never going back Falling into you Hand to hand I’m holding you Are you coming to? Beads of sweat form on my brow Your lips are touching mine Everything is slowing … Continue reading The Words – falling into you (poem)

The Words – you wanted to
You wanted to hit me like a sledgehammer For it to force me to feel something You wanted to break my spine But I still feel nothing You wanted the news to sting my ears For it to make me give a shit You wanted to invade my mind But I still avoid the hit … Continue reading The Words – you wanted to
The Story – mr tease
I could hardly see, and music flooded my ears, bodies, heat, lights, the smell of sweat and dirt in the stuffy air. It was my 4th week in a row that I’d been here, and I was hooked, and best of all I was free. I was 18 and back living in my home town, … Continue reading The Story – mr tease

The Words – hypocrite
Time passed, the space between us in bed got smaller, my heart got warmer, but my mind was still out of the game. We lost some pieces of the puzzle in the rebuild and as hard as I tried I just couldn’t find them. Love existed but my mind wandered, I became vacant and mentally … Continue reading The Words – hypocrite
The Words – gnawing love (poem)
We are running Padded feet on broken ground Running into the ground Breaking barriers down We are clawing Gnawing Playful the sound Fuelled by love Forever bound
The Story – keeper of secrets
I remember her holding me in the car park of the gypsy caravan site, strength on her face but heartbreak in her eyes as she told me how much she loved me. I couldn’t hold them back any longer and they began cascading down my cheeks, I watched my mum grow smaller and smaller in … Continue reading The Story – keeper of secrets
